Rush 9 player 05/.10 303 Hands Down $24.04 Blinds ate $4.85 Rake $3.06

Nor a good Rush session overall though most of the loses came in two hands. None of my big pocket pairs were able to do anything as players folded with only a small .20 bet and/or overcards to my pocket pairs showed. So much for making back the $5.50 in the SNG I played earlier and didn't money in.

Hand 27. I have $12.17, pocket J's (Js Jh), UTG. I open w/a .20 bet. Only player to call is MP2 w/$27.01. Flop 6d 8d 2h. Not a scary one for me. I bet .55 into the .52 pot and MP2 raises me to $1.10. I should have been a bit more suspicious here than I was and I called. I didn't think about him actually having something that might beat me at this point but rather thought he might be on a flush draw BUT if I really think about it, why raise me on a draw??? No good reason to. But this all comes in hindsight. Turn 10s. Still nothing scary to me. I decide to just check and MP2 bets $1.65 into the $2.57 pot. Again I don't give it too much thought and call. River 10d, Now that is a bit scary as the board is now paired plus has flush possibilities! I check again and this time MP2 goes all-in with $24.26. I really wish he hadn't done that, but I call anyway hoping somehow I might be able to win but really expecting all my $$$ to be gone. I was correct. MP2 shows pocket 6's. He'd hit his set on the flop. :-/ I didn't!! :-/ To continue I replenish with another $10.

Hand 56 I get one of my small wins. I have $9.97, am SB w/Ah Kd. Action folds to me and I bet .20 to the BB who has $3.90. BB raises all-in and I call. They have Ac Qc, I have the over card. Flop 3h As 9c. Turn Ad. River 2c. I win and now have $13.44, getting back a bit of my 1st $10 I lost.

Hand 88. This shows how my Rush session seemed to all often go tonight. I have $9.01, UTG w/pocket K's (Kc Ks). I limp in w/a .20 bet, only MP1 w/$26.40 calls. Looks like a chance to double up. Flop Ac 2s 4s. Rats, I did not want to see an Ace. I bet .25 into the .52 pot, MP1 calls. Hmm, does he have an Ace or not? Turn Qh. I check and MP1 bets .60 into the .98 pot and I feel I have to call. River 9h. I check again and MP1 also checks and shows As Jh. Indeed he had the Ace and my pocket K's get me nothing. :-/

Hand 111. I'm SB w/Qc 9h, $5.91. UTG w/$10.45 bets .20, all fold me to me and I call and BB w/$5.15 calls. Flop 7c 8c 6d. I have an open ended straight draw, maybe I pick up some $$$ here. I bet .25 into the .52 pot, BB calls, and UTG goes all in w/their $10.46. Pooh. I'm assuming they have at least the same options as me and may already have hit the straight, but since I'm looking for a staright 10 or 9 high I decide to call, expecting the worse that might happen (assuming I hit the straight) will be a chop, BB calls as well.

Well what UTG had was a big surprise .... As 8d, they've only paired the 8, BUT the killer is the BB who has 9s 10h ... they've hit the straight 10 high. :-/ Is there any hope for me? Well, sure, BUT will it materialize? Turn 7h. River Js. It did not and I'm down another $10. I decide to reload one last time.

Hand 127 I picked up a few $$$. I'm the BTN w/Kh 10d, $8.01.Action folds to MP2 w/$3.90 who bets .10, HJ w/$10.67 raises to .40, and for reasons I'm not sure of now I decide to call, SB, BB, & MP2 fold. Flop .10c 9c Kd. I have two pair. HJ bets .50 into the .98 pot and I raise to $1, HJ calls. Turn 9s. Board has paired but I still have top two pair. HJ checks and I bet $1.60 into the $2.85 pot. HJ calls. Does he have me beat? River As. Not a card I want to see. If HJ has an Ace he would now have the best two pair. Again he checks and I decide to play it save and check as well. HJ shows Ks Qh and I win, getting .85 over my last $10 reload.

Hand 128 I added a few more $$$. I'm HJ w/$10.85, As Js. UTG w/$6.93 bets .10, UTG+1 w/$17.12 calls, MP1 & MP2 fold, I call, CO, BTN, & SB fold and BB checks. Flop Jh 3c 9h. I have top pair. All check to me and I bet .25 into the .42 pot, BB folds, UTG & UTG+1 call. Turn 10c. Not a good card to see as a straight is possible. Again it's checked to me and I bet .75 into the $1.12 pot. Both call again. Do they have something? or are they on a draw? River 8c. Great, even better chance for a straight and now a club flush is possible. :-/  Again both check to me. Either they have nothing, or know I've been betting, they might be trying to check raise me, so I decide to take the safe out and check as well. They show Ah 3h and Ad 10d. I win. I now have $12.77. Maybe I could have squeezed a bit more out of those two players, but after being down $20 I wasn't anxious to drop another $10.

Hand 255 I took another small loss. I'm HJ w/Ad 5d and $11,88. UTG s/$6.81 bets .10, rest fold to me and I raise to .20, CO w/$10.03 calls & UTG calls. Flop 9d 3s 10d. Nice possible nut flush draw for me. UTG checks and I bet .40 into the .70 pot. The CO raises me to .80, UTG folds and I call. Jh, no flush for me yet and a straight now looks possible. I check and the CO bets $2.35. Phooey. I don't want to bet that much, but if I hit my nut flush draw I would be able to go all-in and pick up a nice pot, so I call. Turn 6h. Nut flush eludes me. :-/ I check and CO goes all in w/$6.88 which is what I wanted to do BUT since I have nada I fold. I now have $8.53.

Nothing much else happened the rest of the way to hand 303 and it was certainly well past time for me to quit Rush.
